NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 184 Lineup Adjustment
"They were too accurate in this game, which is not normal, so we don't mind the score. In the second half, we defended seriously and tried to limit their three-pointers. We can get what we want from it." Riley comforted.

Riley didn't curse, which means that the Heat no longer intend to do anything about the game.

They are going to observe the changes of the Suns this season. Although they are mainly rushing out of the East, the main opponents in the West should also pay attention. They worked so hard in the summer not to be a supporting role.

Ambitious teams are like this, winning or losing the regular season is not important, but the game is important.

In the second half, the Heat's defense was very targeted, and the Suns were not as smooth as before on the offensive end.

But the Heat's offense still can't get up, so the game is still useless.

After taking down the Heat, the Suns have won [-] consecutive victories. No one knows why they will be blocked.

But the Spurs have a good chance next, and Russell thinks it's almost there.

Of course, they won't lose on purpose, they just don't grit their teeth and stick to winning streaks.

And the Spurs are also back to back, it may be more difficult for the Spurs coming to the away game.

In order to target the Suns lineup, the Spurs let Ginobili go to the bench.

This is just a temporary adjustment, but after tasting the sweetness, the Spurs will give Ginobili work.

Ginobili is not a substitute this season, and will agree to the status of the sixth man next season.

Finley appeared in the starting lineup not because of his recovery, but precisely because he couldn't support the rotation.

Against the dozen he might have had against other teams, he has no chance against the Suns.

It's better to follow Duncan and honestly open up space on the outside, which is better than ordinary role players.

The Spurs also introspected when they were killed last time. After all, the Suns are their biggest competitor in the West.

In this game, they were not in a hurry at the beginning and focused on defense first.

Still pure defense is no longer in line with the development trend of the league, but the Spurs still have no way to adjust this season, they can only do the best defense.

Duncan just looks at the data defense, but he is the most troublesome inside player the Suns have encountered.

Duncan's long arms and experience interfere too much with the Suns, and the Suns are not as good as the Spurs in positional warfare.

However, the advantage of the Suns is also obvious, and Russell's addition to the team is too great.

As long as the Spurs miss their offense, they have to think about defense as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for the Suns to seize the opportunity to switch offense and defense.

Therefore, when the Spurs face the sun, it is difficult to attack, and they are trembling.

This is deterrence, and other teams cannot imitate.

Under the defense of the Spurs, the rhythm of the two teams has obviously slowed down, and mistakes must be controlled to speed up. As a strong team, the Suns are very conscious. If there is no good opportunity, Russell will choose to be steady.

The scores of the two teams are slowly rising. If there are mistakes and points lost there, the situation will become difficult.

But the Spurs are not the same as those teams eager to beat the Suns, they will not play the main force.

This is why they let Ginobili go to the bench, so that the team's firepower will not be interrupted.

Changing the starting lineup is definitely a strange move. The two teams stalemate until the rotation period, and the Sun's usual aggressive bench lineup is in trouble.

Ginobili can not only score, he is also very good restraint Martin.

Martin, who often scored high scores, was a little wilted when he encountered Ginobili, and the Suns did not attack at this time.

But Wallace was still tough, so they didn't suffer, and the two teams continued to be stalemate.

The Spurs often pull their opponents into their rhythm and grind slowly. If Russell is not strong enough, the Suns really can't stand it.

But now, even if the rhythm slows down, the Suns will not easily give any opponent a chance.

The atmosphere became tense, and D'Antoni hesitated.

Encountering which lineup is difficult for the Spurs to use, as soon as I think about it, I feel that the main force should be played, at least Joe Johnson and Marion should play more.

Russell's physical strength is not that good, otherwise D'Antoni would like him to be on the court all the time.

They don't really care about winning or losing this game, but it's also very important to find out the bottom of the Spurs, especially when the opponent moves first. As the head coach, D'Antoni definitely wants to fight hard.

At the last moment of the first half, Russell scored a three-pointer at the buzzer, but it was a little short.

The score is still very close, they only lead by 2 points.

This is worthy of vigilance, because this is the case when Duncan did not go crazy.

It stands to reason that the Suns could easily lead if Duncan didn't explode, but today's situation is obviously wrong.

"It's not just a matter of lineup adjustments, they hit our three-pointer too well today."

"Yes, their defense was completely expanded, and Duncan took care of the entire penalty area by himself."

"Our three-pointers must rise in the second half, and we must also make targeted adjustments."

"Let's consume it first. If Duncan doesn't fight at the beginning, we won't give him a chance to fight."

The Suns also feel that they need to test it out, but no matter how the Spurs change, Duncan is at the core, just like no matter how the Mavericks change, as long as they stand against Nowitzki, half of the success will be achieved.

Hehe, their positions are not as flexible as Russell, and it is not so easy to stare at Russell.

In order to keep an eye on Curry in the future, the teams have exhausted their tricks, and no one pays so much attention to Russell.

The main thing is that I have no experience, and I don't think it is too exaggerated for a defender.

Besides, Russell is harder to guard than Curry, he's cheating.

In the third quarter, the Spurs still wanted Duncan to exert force, only to find that the Suns immediately started pinching.

Duncan finally went inside and was fouled. After he missed two free throws, Popovich voluntarily gave up the offensive.

Anyway, this game is not the playoffs, so there is no need to work hard on Duncan.

Anyway, Duncan is strong enough, and he can use it when he needs it. He is very stable, and his free throws are based on daylight, which is barely possible.

But for other tactics, it is necessary to test repeatedly. Duncan's inspection-free product should be put away first.

So Duncan went to defend honestly again, and had to cover his teammates on the offensive end, as if he had no temper at all.

It is only with Duncan that Popovich can look like a famous coach. Among superstars, only Duncan has such strong tactical execution and can control his temper.

For other superstars, they must save face first, and Howard is unwilling to do the cover for teammates later, but Duncan is conscientious, and the Spurs' No. [-] pick is really profitable.

But because of this, Duncan lost a bit of arrogance, and it can be said that things have advantages and disadvantages.

If Duncan doesn't play, the Spurs will be Parker's main attack, and then wait until Ginobili comes up to play with the ball.

In fact, the routine is still the same, but the Spurs cooperate better.

The Spurs still defended well against the Suns' three-pointer. Russell counted the time and gradually began to exert strength.

The game scene was a bit dull, but the atmosphere in the arena was extremely tense.
